The clearest litmus test of a Christian is whether or not their life is lived in accordance with the word of God. The apostle John said, And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep His commandments. He who says I know but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in them, but whosoever keeps His word, in him truly love for God is perfected.
By this we may be sure that we are in Him: he who says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked 1 John Two:3-6.
The characteristic of obedience to God and His word, His commandments, is the only method to discern a genuine Christian from fraud. Remember, Jesus said the same thing in different words when He declared, you will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruits. Matthew Seven: 16-17.
Look at the fruits that are produced in one's personal character and life. Compare those fruits with the word of God. Do they stack up? Do they make a perfect match?
Because how a person lives their life will prove whether or not they is a bona fide follower of the Messiah, the living Jesus Christ!
What about you? Are you a Real Christian?
